Why don't you get some air? 866 01:06:04,669 --> 01:06:07,170 - Where are they takin' him? - I can't tell you. 867 01:06:20,935 --> 01:06:25,021 Sister Helen? Chaplain Farley called. He's at the gate. He'll be right here. 868 01:06:25,189 --> 01:06:26,398 Thank you. 869 01:06:26,565 --> 01:06:30,735 Sergeant Trapp, how long do you think that big old tree's been there? 870 01:06:32,029 --> 01:06:34,906 Ma'am, ain't no tellin'. 871 01:06:35,950 --> 01:06:39,744 Saw you outside the gates the other night at Purcell's execution. 872 01:06:39,912 --> 01:06:41,329 Yeah. 873 01:06:41,497 --> 01:06:44,249 - You seemed upset. - Upset? No. 874 01:06:44,792 --> 01:06:48,378 - Were you in the room when they did it? - I'm on the strap-down team. 875 01:06:48,546 --> 01:06:51,423 Left leg. That's my job. The left leg. 876 01:06:51,590 --> 01:06:54,759 We take the prisoner from his cell to the execution chamber. 877 01:06:54,927 --> 01:07:00,807 - Wow. That's gotta be tough. - It's hard. I didn't sleep that night. 878 01:07:01,892 --> 01:07:04,686 I think it's gotta affect everybody that sees it, 879 01:07:04,854 --> 01:07:06,563 whether they're for it or against it. 880 01:07:06,731 --> 01:07:11,526 It's just part of the job. These prisoners get what's comin' to 'em. 881 01:07:11,694 --> 01:07:16,906 It's easy for someone to come in here and make a rash judgment on procedure. 882 01:07:17,074 --> 01:07:21,494 What may appear on the surface to be irrational or unnecessary 883 01:07:21,662 --> 01:07:27,125 proves upon examination to have solid reasoning and experience behind it. 884 01:07:27,710 --> 01:07:31,129 Father, all I want is to play a hymn for Matt before his execution. 885 01:07:31,297 --> 01:07:34,883 And experience tells us that music stirs up emotion. 886 01:07:35,051 --> 01:07:39,637 Emotion that can produce an unexpected reaction in the inmate. 887 01:07:39,805 --> 01:07:44,684 All right. Do you have any objection to my asking the warden for his opinion? 888 01:07:46,312 --> 01:07:50,356 I would oppose it, but you may if you like. 889 01:07:51,525 --> 01:07:54,110 Thank you. And thank you for your time. 890 01:07:54,278 --> 01:07:58,323 I understand you were protesting outside the gates during the last execution. 891 01:07:58,491 --> 01:07:59,908 Yes. 892 01:08:00,076 --> 01:08:04,662 Are you familiar with the Old Testament? "Thou shalt not kill." 893 01:08:04,830 --> 01:08:09,751 "If anyone sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed." 894 01:08:09,919 --> 01:08:15,715 Yes, Father. In the New Testament, Jesus talks about grace and reconciliation. 895 01:08:15,883 --> 01:08:20,095 Poncelet has to understand that Jesus died for his sins. 896 01:08:20,262 --> 01:08:21,513 If he accepts that, 897 01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:26,643 reconciliation is his and his soul shall have eternal life. 898 01:08:26,811 --> 01:08:31,022 One's opinion of the death penalty is not the issue here. 899 01:08:31,732 --> 01:08:37,195 Look at Romans. "Let every person be subordinate to the higher authorities. 900 01:08:37,363 --> 01:08:40,949 For there is no authority except from God. 901 01:08:41,117 --> 01:08:45,703 And those who oppose it will bring judgment upon themselves." 902 01:08:46,455 --> 01:08:48,456 - What is it? - She collapsed in my office. 903 01:08:48,624 --> 01:08:51,376 - She's havin' a heart attack. - I'm OK. I just fainted. 904 01:08:53,379 --> 01:08:54,963 I just need something to eat. 905 01:09:02,888 --> 01:09:05,598 Could you tell Matt what happened, please? 906 01:09:05,766 --> 01:09:09,018 - When we're finished here. - No, I've gotta tell him now. 907 01:09:09,186 --> 01:09:11,855 - I'll take care of it, Sister. - Thank you. 908 01:09:12,022 --> 01:09:15,650 - Good news. This isn't a heart attack. - I'm just hungry. 909 01:09:15,818 --> 01:09:20,697 They don't let visitors eat in the death house. They must think we feed on air. 910 01:09:23,075 --> 01:09:25,785 Is that the machine they use after an execution? 911 01:09:25,953 --> 01:09:29,956 Yes, ma'am. Just have to be official about the whole thing. 912 01:09:30,749 --> 01:09:34,377 Thank God we're off the electric chair. It's easier to take the needle. 913 01:09:34,545 --> 01:09:38,131 Just part of the job, you know. Let's get you up and put some food in you. 914 01:09:38,299 --> 01:09:39,966 Who puts the needle in? 915 01:09:40,843 --> 01:09:42,427 That's private information. 916 01:09:42,595 --> 01:09:44,179 Is it you? 917 01:09:45,598 --> 01:09:49,767 We're not allowed to disclose any specifics regardin' execution procedure. 918 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,814 Sister, let me get you some food. Then we'll send you home. 919 01:09:54,982 --> 01:09:57,942 - I gotta get back to Matt. - I'm sorry, Sister. 920 01:09:58,110 --> 01:10:01,112 This is warden's orders. You're through for the day. 921 01:10:04,783 --> 01:10:10,038 Where'd you go yesterday? You all right? I asked what happened. Nobody'd tell me. 922 01:10:10,206 --> 01:10:12,916 You didn't know? They told me they'd tell you... 923 01:10:13,083 --> 01:10:16,002 They took me into that little room. They was measurin' me... 924 01:10:16,170 --> 01:10:18,588 - Measuring you? - See how big a coffin I needed. 925 01:10:18,756 --> 01:10:21,674 Then I come back and you were gone. I spent the day alone. 926 01:10:21,842 --> 01:10:24,135 Oh, Matt. I'm sorry. 927 01:10:26,305 --> 01:10:28,306 I'm so sorry. 928 01:10:33,062 --> 01:10:36,439 - You ever get lonely? - Yeah, sure. 929 01:10:42,655 --> 01:10:46,741 Sometimes on Sundays when I smell the neighborhood barbecues 930 01:10:46,909 --> 01:10:52,330 and I hear all the kids laughin' and I'm sittin' in my room, 931 01:10:52,498 --> 01:10:54,165 I feel like a fool. 932 01:10:58,003 --> 01:11:02,173 What I miss most bein' here are women. 933 01:11:02,341 --> 01:11:06,928 You know, I used to sit at the bar, just drinkin' and listenin' to music. 934 01:11:07,096 --> 01:11:09,681 I'd dance till three or four in the morning. 935 01:11:09,848 --> 01:11:12,183 I ain't gonna lie.

There is some good news. 958 01:12:47,071 --> 01:12:50,448 The man that's giving the test has serious doubts 959 01:12:50,616 --> 01:12:52,492 that they'll get an accurate result. 960 01:12:52,659 --> 01:12:55,411 - Why? - Tomorrow's the day of your execution. 961 01:12:55,579 --> 01:12:59,457 You'll be under stress and the test can mistake stress for dishonesty. 962 01:12:59,625 --> 01:13:01,751 No problem.

You got some work to do. 973 01:13:48,173 --> 01:13:52,510 I think you should look at the Gospel of John, chapter eight, where Jesus said, 974 01:13:53,679 --> 01:13:58,641 "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." 975 01:14:00,894 --> 01:14:05,773 I'll check it out.
